The art speaks for itself, capturing the irreverent playfulness and whimsical nature that the Artists-On-Call apply to their projects, these dazzling bottle cap projects rock! Make jewelry, accessories or come up with your own ideas for these awesome little embellishments. The sky is the limit!
Seasoned Greetings
The Artists-On-Call wanted to create projects blending art and food, two of our favorite things. Some made new labels for food items and other used their own recipe for success. You can easily recreate this project at home by redecorating containers or mix up your own specialty. Either way, friends and family will have a handmade gift their taste buds will also enjoy.
